RESIGN YOURSELF, NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND

Resign yourself - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Album:  Stars and Stripes Forever


The Nitty Gritty Dirt band did this totally fun song called resign yourself.  This was sung about a girl, so being a girl, I felt weird singing it, so I chose some less gender specific words.  To see a fabulous video of a man playing this song all instrumental, look here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpj7LLtPZf8

              G                                                  CG
Aint no place you can go that I can’t get to
                                                                  D
Aint no place you can hide where I can’t see
                   G          G7                   C    A7
Let me remind you now my little darlin….
                 G                     D                    G CG
Babe you may as well resign yourself to me.

Verse 2
                                                                      CG
Aint no place you can go where I can’t get to
                                                                        D
Aint no place you can undress where I can’t see
                     G                    G7                           C      A7
If you’re marooned out in space I’ll come and get you.
                 G                     D                       G  CG
Babe you may as well resign yourself to me.

Chorus
D                                                      G
Don’t think you fool me with that trench coat and those
E7                              A7    
shades…..I’m gonna wrap my arms around you like two
D7                     D
gooey old bandaids…

Verse 3
               G                                                    CG
Ain’t no cab you can take that I can’t follow
                   G                                                 D
I’m gonna buzz around your head just like a bee.
                 G                 G7                          C    A7
You may elude me tonight but come tomorrow,
                   G                    D                      G  CG
Yeah, you may as well resign yourself to me.

CHORUS
Repeat Verse 1 and end.
